Title: Old police station, Cape Town
Subject: Western Cape (South Africa), Rondebosch (Cape Town, South Africa), Suburbs, Landmarks, Monuments, Historic buildings
Description: One of the oldest buildings in Rondebosch - which has served as a police station for more than 70 years - is up for auction shortly. Built around 1880, it was originally a labourer's cottage on the old Rozendaal wine estate, and later another storey was added. The building has served as a police station since 1906 and represents the last of the old "cottage" police stations so prevalent in the Peninsula until recent years. For this reason representations have been made to the Public Works Department and National Monuments Council in order to get something done to preserve the building - but so far without success.
